- 7. Ando has a strong background in Japanese culture. He was raised in Japan and lives there. Japanese religion and style of life strongly influenced his architecture and design. Ando's architectural style is said to create a "haiku" effect, emphasizing nothingness and empty space to represent the beauty of simplicity. He favors designing complex spatial circulation while maintaining the appearance of simplicity. A self-taught architect, he keeps his Japanese culture and language in mind while he travels around Europe for research. As an architect, he believes that architecture can change society, that "to change the dwelling is to change the city and to reform society". "Reform society" could be a promotion of a place or a change of the identity of that place. According to Werner Blaser, "Good buildings by Tadao Ando create memorable identity and therefore publicity, which in turn attracts the public and promotes market penetration".
- 8. For Ando, Light is an architecture of duality – the dual nature of [co]existence – solid/void, light/dark, stark/serene. The coexisting differences leave the church void of any, and all, ornament creating a pure, unadorned space. The intersection of light and solid raises the occupants awareness of the spiritual and secular within themselves.

- 19. Light is the origin of all being. Light gives with each moment new form to being and new interrelationship to things and architecture condenses light to its most concise being. The creation of space in architecture is simply the condensation and purification of the power of light.
- 20. “I do not believe architecture should speak too much. It should remain silent and let nature in the guise of sunlight and wind speak” Creates spaces that respond to human needs and spirit juxtaposing powerful concrete walls with light and nature, deep sense of peace, simple materials and geometry.
